In view of the increasing traffic congestion in the state capital and the need to enhance public amenities and business convenience, Shimla Deputy Commissioner (DC) Anupam Kashyap on Monday directed departments concerned to identify suitable locations for the relocation of various markets and to submit a detailed report within a week. The report will subsequently be forwarded to the state government for further action.

Chairing a meeting on the issue, Kashyap instructed officials to conduct a comprehensive survey covering all necessary aspects and to prepare a practical, phased proposal to ensure that the relocation process is carried out in a well-planned and systematic manner.

The meeting focused on the relocation of the vegetable market, timber market and other commercial establishments currently operating in congested areas of Shimla.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
